I think Kurt Warner himself is actually very boring. Unless he somehow does something else off the field and away from the NFL, I don't see his "story" becoming much of anything.

I would like to see a movie about Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones building the early 1990's juggernaut Cowboys. There was a lot of drama over those years. Could be an interesting flick.

Bill Simmons also scripted out the Hollywood-esque series of events with the NBA ref points-shaving scandal. I'd definitely go see that movie.

Ray Lewis. If you've ever seen him on Beyond the Glory you would know why.

A double feature on Mathias Kiwanuka and Tamba Hali. Kiwanuka went from Ugandan royalty before fleeing the country during Idi Amin's coup, coming to Indianapolis of all places and Hali escaped war and turmoil in Liberia. And they both became first round DEs.

And he didn't even get drafted, but then persevered and did great with the Packers.

Yeah, I read that as well. That will be a major motion picture, there's no doubt.

We've all seen enough of Ray Lewis. I pray he doesn't go the Irvin/Keyshawn route when he retires, ugh...

I don't get your hate for Ray Lewis. I was pointing out that he's had a very interesting career/life that would make a good motion picture.

The TV show "Beyond the Glory" is basically this thread in a nutshell. So many great stories. Mike Tyson is beyond interesting and one of the best I've seen. I think the episode was actually nominated for several awards.

How about a movie about Jon Lester. A rising young star that looked destine for greatness but was suddenly struck by cancer. The fall to the bottom and the rise back to the top.

pretty much the same concept; athletes struck by cancer and make it back to the pinnacle of their sports
